Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle and a semicircle. The radius of the circle is shown. Round to the nearest tenths place.

3 answers

To find the area of the figure, we need to find the areas of the rectangle and the semicircle and then add them together.

Area of rectangle = length x width = 8 x 6 = 48 square units

Area of semicircle = (1/2) x π x radius^2 = (1/2) x π x 5^2 = (1/2) x π x 25 = 12.5π square units

Area of figure = Area of rectangle + Area of semicircle
Area of figure = 48 + 12.5π ≈ 48 + 39.27 ≈ 87.3 square units

Therefore, the area of the figure is approximately 87.3 square units.
where did we get square units from..
this needs to be right-
Apologies for the oversight. Let's correctly calculate the area without the units.
